Rong Fei is not honored

"Don't worry, the eldest princess is fine. She is now well in the Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager is taking care of her, so she will be fine. However, the Empress Dowager is old, so we still need to find a reliable foster mother for the eldest princess."

Ji Nai understood. It was not that the Empress Dowager was too old to take care of the princess, but that she was unwilling to accept a worthless princess.

"So, Your Majesty wants to ask for my opinion?"

"Well, actually, you are the most suitable person to raise the eldest princess in the palace now, but I think you probably won't agree."

"How does Your Majesty know that I won't agree? What if I want a daughter now?"

"You are so lazy that you don't even want to take care of palace affairs, let alone a child. Chengrui and Saiyinchahun are enough to keep you busy. Besides, the eldest princess is not in good health. Chengrui and the eldest princess will make you worry too much."

Men, if they really care about women, will always consider them even if they don't say it. A few years ago, Kangxi had never thought about how much trouble it would be for Ji Nai to raise the eldest princess.

Or maybe he did think about it, but at that time, in Kangxi's heart, this little bit of trouble was nothing compared to his own offspring.

Ji Nai accepted Kangxi's kindness with a smile and began to think seriously. After a while, he said, "In fact, Huipin is also a suitable candidate."

"Nara, no!" Kangxi frowned and decisively rejected the proposal.

Ji Nai was a little surprised and didn't understand why Kangxi was so hostile to Nara.

Seeing Ji Nai's confusion, Kangxi only said: "Nara is too doting on her children. I'm afraid she won't be able to educate the eldest princess well." He didn't explain any further.

Ji Nai was really speechless. Cheng Qing was indeed spoiled by Nara at the beginning, but he was her biological eldest son, so he was worried that Nara would spoil an adopted daughter. This excuse was a bit too perfunctory.

However, Ji Nai did not expose it. After hearing Kangxi's decisive refusal, she also realized that in Kangxi's eyes, Nara was indeed not a suitable candidate.

After all, Nara had attacked Chenghu before, even if her original intention was to avenge her child. But no matter what her starting point was, it left Kangxi with the impression that she would hurt the child. How could Kangxi believe that Nara would treat the eldest princess well?

Once trust is broken, it is very difficult to rebuild it. In the future, if anything happens to the royal heir in the palace, Nara will definitely be the first person to be suspected.

For a concubine who has been in a turbulent environment for a long time, this is a fatal problem. Many times, just a slight difference in thought can lead to eternal damnation.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Ji Nai adhered to his bottom line and would never take action against the royal heir unless it was absolutely necessary. He also repeatedly took the trouble to leave the impression in the minds of Kangxi and the Empress Dowager that he would not harm the royal heir.

There are many ways to fight in the harem, and there are many ways to make a person fail miserably. She doesn't have to attack the heir to the throne. She will not take chances and hope that what she did will not be discovered.

However, since Kangxi had already rejected him and Nara, there were even fewer candidates left to choose from. The first person Ji Nai thought of was Dong, a concubine who had also given birth to a child, but the other party's child was also a princess.

If Concubine Dong is allowed to raise the eldest princess, even if she appears to be fair to them on the surface, there is a high probability that she will be biased towards them in private. By then, the eldest princess' treatment will not be as good as that of her own younger sister, which may cause many troubles.

The upbringing of princes and princesses is different. If a princess is raised by a concubine who has a prince, that would be icing on the cake. A princess who will not threaten the interests of her own children will treat the other party well, even if it is to please the emperor and for her own good reputation.

But for the imperial concubines who gave birth to princesses, the situation was quite different. After all, both were daughters, requiring the same resources, and having one more child would naturally dilute the resources of their own children.

Although, if you raise one more child, the resources provided will naturally increase to two people, but who would complain about having too many benefits?

I'm afraid Kangxi also thought about this, so he didn't mention Concubine Dong.

Ji Nai was sleepy and tired. He thought of several candidates but found that none of them were suitable. He simply gave up and asked directly: "Does Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager have any candidates?"

Kangxi said with a smile: "I was asking you, but you asked me the same question again."

"I can't think of it. Your Majesty, please tell me the candidate you have in mind, and I can also give you some advice." Ji Nai was simply playing rogue.

If it weren't for the guilt she felt, and the fact that she really felt sorry for the eldest princess' child, she wouldn't have wanted to get involved in such troublesome matters.

"I don't have a candidate, but the Empress Dowager suggested one, it's Irgen Gioro."

"Irgen Jueluo concubine?" Ji Nai opened her eyes, and her sleepiness instantly disappeared, turning on the first level of alert mode. Although she was the one who proposed Irgen Jueluo when discussing the candidate for managing palace affairs, Ji Nai actually did not have much of a good impression of this person.

Originally, the conversation outside Nara's delivery room made her feel that this person was quite clear-headed, so she mentioned Irgen Jueluo. On the one hand, it was to shut everyone up, and on the other hand, she wanted to use her to balance the situation in the harem.

Only when the six palaces are peaceful and everyone is restraining each other, and no one can dominate, can Ji Nai be safe.

As expected, what happened afterwards, especially the fact that Irgen Gioro and Dong took advantage of Yinzhen's full-moon banquet to suppress Nara, and the fact that the two of them had been placing their own people throughout the six palaces during this period, forced Ji Nai to admit that he had made a mistake.

Perhaps it is because of "being poor for a long time and then suddenly becoming rich", now Irgen Jueluo is less and less like a smart person. Instead, he thinks he is smart and commands his thugs, Sochooro, to stir up trouble in the palace.

Did she really think that no one could see that Suochuoruo, that idiot, was being used by her? Did she think that with Suochuoruo charging in the front, she could hide perfectly behind the scenes?

However, this is only Ji Nai's perspective, but in Irgen Jueluo's view, she did not know that it was Ji Nai who promoted her, and she thought it was the intention of the His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.

She actually knew that she was not favored and had no part in assisting the Queen in managing palace affairs before, but why was it suddenly her turn this time?

If it wasn't because His Majesty and the Empress Dowager liked me, could it be because she was favored?

Moreover, among the four people who manage the harem, she is the only one who does not have children. She seems to be a little weaker, but precisely because of this, C can't help but think too much.

Ma Jia, Nara, and Dong all have children, so why can Irgen Jueluo be the special one? There are many concubines in the palace who have no children but are Manchu nobles, so why is it her?

Not only Irgen Jueluo thought so, many people in the palace also guessed so. Everyone knew that the current queen had long been in name only, that is, Prince Chenghu had just passed away, and maybe one day, His Majesty would directly depose Hesheli.

But the palace cannot be without a mistress, and the Qing Dynasty cannot be without a queen forever. So should they welcome a queen from outside the palace, or choose from among the old people in the palace?

Irgen Jueluo naturally tended to the latter. After she got the news, her heart began to beat violently. Even though her reason told her to stay calm, she still felt a little dizzy under the impact of the Phoenix Throne.

Not to mention, the high-ranking concubines in the palace are now all bondservant women. How can those proud and arrogant Manchu noble ladies be willing to accept this? But the facts force them to bow their heads.

But now, someone among them has come forward. Although Irgen Jueluo's family background is not prominent, she has a good surname after all. Rather than kneeling in front of the bondservants, they would rather follow Irgen Jueluo who has the same noble blood as themselves.

Therefore, after Irgen Gioro came to power, the group of concubines, who had originally huddled together to fight against the empress, Majia, and Nara, and had to be led by Dong, immediately split up.

It became a group of concubines who were of bondservant origin, headed by Concubine Dong, and a group of concubines who were Manchu noblewomen, headed by the Irgen Gioro clan.

This also explains why although Socho Luo clearly did not trust Irgen Jueluo and sometimes even thought she was too stupid, she was still willing to obey her.
